Ancient Rome contributed much to our style of government here in the United States and in other nations around the world. Your task as an Honorary Intern is three-fold:
1) Develop a Tour Guide for use by visitors as they explore Ancient Rome’s many historic governmental buildings. 2) Include in your Tour Guide a series of biographies on officials in Ancient Roman that the visitors may encounter during their exploration of the city. 3.) Include information comparing Ancient Rome's governmental system with our governmental system in the United States.
Be sure to start your project by doing a lot of site seeing. You will be seeing some amazing buildings, architecture, and technological advances never seen before! Visiting Ancient Rome is an adventure that many people do not get the privilege of doing, but that is just what you will be doing! Take advantage of this opportunity, and learn all you can about Ancient Rome.
During your tour, be sure to become familiar with the culture, and the people of this empire, but keep your focus on how the Ancient Roman government evolved, and how it influences our world today. While you learn about the daily lives of average citizens, the different classes within the society, the different jobs people can have, and what people do in their spare time, watch out for the “Movers and Shakers” who were active in Ancient Roman government.
Remember when creating your Tour Guide, make it as user friendly as possible. Be sure to include not only written information, but pictures, maps and other graphics to help the city of Ancient Rome “come alive” for the tourists. Feel free to browse whatever you wish while researching this project, and learn as much as possible about Ancient Rome, the people that live there, and how they continue to influence our world in the 21st century.
Be sure to take some good notes on the different sites and people you discover throughout your journey. At the end of your journey you will be asked to create a written or digital Tour Guide to share the different aspects of Ancient Roman culture you discovered. Your project should include enough information for a visitor to thoroughly visit the city and answer as many questions the visitors may have with as much detail as possible. That is why I suggest that you take notes of the different sites and people that you see.
You will be working in a group with one or two other students. Be sure to check out the Rubric on the Evaluation page to see how group work will be assessed during this project. Each member of your group must share equally in the workload throughout the project and during the presentation to the class.
